Other Thoughts Shouldn't Phil Hinchcliffe be here somewhere? Likewise Brian Hill, (Barry/Terry?) Dowling, (Barry?) Gatehouse, Terry Young (Row 1:6?), (Brian?) Davis (pal of EJordan) ... maybe they were on holiday. There are some names on the FriendsReunited database who could probably supply new identifications.
Source: "From this point I have somewhat painstakingly divided boys up into discrete groupings. The position of the first two groups is related to the teachers' row, while the third group is related to boys in the front row, since I can identify all these. The following abbreviations have been used: f - front, m - middle, b - back, with "back" meaning immediately in front of the teachers. Where there are more than 3 in a line, I have been more specific. For all three groups I have worked initially from left to right, then sub-divided by line, usually working from a teacher forwards (first two groups) or from a pupil backwards (last group). I have not included most of the identifications from the existing list, as I'm confused as to exactly whom they designate.

Leslie E "Elegant" Greenaway; Terry Little; David Sears; Les Selzer;
David Parker (partly obscured by the younger Alan Alderman I indicated earlier.
2-3 places further, with the lighter blazer, looks like Nigel Wakelin/Wakeman?.
I should know the next (tie & big hair) but cannot recall the name. Next to him is Eric Marsden,
(behind Eric Marsden is Tovey) then the radiant smile of John Eyre; forward & between them, (Colin/Clive?)Timms.
Towards the end of the row, with specs, is Ian Stewart, then PA Taylor,
Nicholas G Taylor(partly obscured); (?); Christopher Marsden."
"Row 8 is easy before the gap (ending with the boy with glasses diagonally
between JBMearns and PNewby. It should continue with the two in line with VHTaylor &
KFC, GThomas (ifo RJVivash), the obscured one (in front of BCarter), MFreeman, MDean, GLynn,
Greenaway, Little, Sears, Selzer, Parker, Huw Williams?, Wakeham, isn't he Altmeyer?,
Marsden, Eyre, [gap & up to:] (open neck), (tie), [down to] (half-obscured), gap,
PA Taylor, glasses [That isn't Tony Crooks, is it?]."
"8th Row
3rd from right wearing spectacles Ian Stuart.
8th from right dark hair with no one immediately in front of him John Eyre.
Behind him his brother Peter Eyre."

Other Thoughts
Shouldn't Phil Hinchcliffe be here somewhere? Likewise Brian Hill, (Barry/Terry?) Dowling,
(Barry?) Gatehouse, Terry Young (Row 1:6?), (Brian?) Davis (pal of EJordan) ... maybe
they were on holiday. There are some names on the FriendsReunited database who could
probably supply new identifications.

"From this point I have somewhat painstakingly divided boys up into discrete groupings.
The position of the first two groups is related to the teachers' row, while the third
group is related to boys in the front row, since I can identify all these. The following
abbreviations have been used: f - front, m - middle, b - back, with "back" meaning
immediately in front of the teachers. Where there are more than 3 in a line, I have
been more specific. For all three groups I have worked initially from left to right,
then sub-divided by line, usually working from a teacher forwards (first two groups)
or from a pupil backwards (last group). I have not included most of the identifications
from the existing list, as I'm confused as to exactly whom they designate.
